The Olympus Optical Company was established in 1919 under the name of "Takachiho" - mythical mountain ruled by the Goddess of Sun which may be compared to Greece's Mount Olympus. In 1936, it began the production of camera lenses and selected the name of "ZUIKO", meaning "blissful light". Since then, ZUIKO lenses have been widely acclaimed throughout the world.First generation ZUIKO Lens is described with an alphabetical prefix and suffix such as F . ZUlK0 AUTO-S, AUTO-T, etc. The prefix represents the number of elements in a lens in alphabetical order. For an instance, "A"=1 element, "B"=2 elements, "D"=4 elements, and so forth.
Second generation lens, with exceptions, carry the ZUIKO MC lettering to denote that the lens is 'Multi-Coated' while the third (last) generation only carries the ZUIKO name.
"AUTO" signifies automatic diaphragm. The suffix represents the type of lens: "S" is for Standard, "W" for Wide Angle and "T" for Telephoto.
